The first household GE refrigerators were made in 1925, and GE is continuing to produce and evolve their refrigerator products to the present day. GE has been gradually adding more technology to their fridges, from smart systems to sensors. [1]

Consumer impact summary[edit | edit source]

User Freedom: - Some GE refrigerators equipped with a smart water filter system produced after 2019 now have Leak-Detecting Sensing Technology. The system requires new water filter standards, the XWFE or the RPWFE depending on the model of fridge. They are very similar to the XWF and RPWF filters except now they have RFID chips. These fridges are not backwards compatible with the preceding standards, as the water dispenser will simply refuse to operate without an RFID chipped filter. [2][3] This needlessly limits your replacement filter options to more expensive products.

User Privacy: - Unknown, but GE appliances are generally equipped with smart home technology.

Business Model: - Appliance sales, replacement part sales.

Market Control: - One of the top appliance manufacturers in the US.
